Fecal Matter
Fecal Matter Defined: solid excretory product evacuated from the bowels.
Fecal matter is a byproduct that we don’t often talk about. It can tell us much about our health and state of being. On this site, we will explore the many facets of poop and why fecal matters. We welcome photos and contributions in all poop matters. We spend time gathering data and synthesizing it in one place so anyone can learn all about the poop.
Infectious Diseases Spread Through Poop
Human Poop is a biohazard. Some infections and diseases are spread when spores or microscopic amounts of feces is spread from one person to another by mouth. This can happen directly from hand to mouth or indirectly from objects, surfaces, foods, or water tainted with feces.
Poop Chart Used As Diagnostic Tool
The Bristol stool chart classified human feces into 7 categories and is used as a diagnostic medical tool.
The chart was developed in 1997 by Dr. Stephen Lewis and Dr. Ken Heaton at the Bristol Royal Infirmary as a clinical assessment tool. It is used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for various diseases of the bowel.
